This shall be implemented in this project. If the photos are set to private or semi-private, authentication needs to be done before the metadata can be retrieved. Note that this function returns only metadata of the photos which the calling user is allowed to access. The absolute URI of a photo can be reconstructed from its farm ID, server ID, photo ID and secret, as described in Flickr's URL documentation. This will return a response in XML format as shown below. The following shows an example of using the API above request calls the, provides the API key, the Flickr ID of the user, the number of photos to be displayed per page, and requests also the tags associated with the photos. One can specify the format of the response such as XML or JSON. The function can be accessed by sending a REST request to the endpoint. By providing the Flickr ID of a user, it will return all the photos together with their metadata. The API function used in this project is the function. An API Key must be obtained in order to use the Flickr API. This can be done by usign the API service provided by Flickr. These include the absolute URI of the photos, their titles, and the tags associated with them.

As a result we need to retrieve the metadata of the photos from Flickr. In this project we use Flickr as a storage of photos. Retrieving Photo Metadata from Flickr Introduction
